Quote Margin with quoted selling price per unit of 310 value: a worked example in smart home & consumer iot hardware

Push quoted selling price per unit up to 310 value and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when quote margin in smart home and consumer iot hardware needs a clean margin number for a smart home and consumer iot hardware go / no-go review.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Quoted selling price per unit: 310 value (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 125)
  • Fully-loaded unit cost (BOM + labor + overhead): 100 value (unchanged)
  • Revenue base for margin (quoted price): 100 value (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Quote margin amount gap = available quote margin amount - required quote margin amount) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 210 % for quote margin, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 210 value for quote margin amount gap.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 310 value for available quote margin amount.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 100 value for required quote margin amount.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where quoted selling price per unit sits at 125 value and the headline result is 25 %, this scenario comes in 740% above the baseline at 210 %.
